I do things... Group: Members Posts: 7,809 Joined: 2-December 03 From: Napa, Ca Member No.: 1,413 Region Association: Northern California	Tomorrow it all starts. Gonna break it all down and start the body work. I hope to have it DONE by next Friday. Brandon at Altissimo Restoration (707-253-paint) will be doing the bulk of the work. I get to do the disassembly/reassembly, welding, rear flare work, sanding, some sanding and more sanding. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) Car will be factory color light ivory with bright metalic red rally stripes and the 7"steel wheels to match stripes. I'll be filling the side marker and antenna holes. Rear ducktail spoiler will go from black to white and the targa top will be smooth painted with the stripes over the top of both. Any advice?

Member No.: 1,246	Don't count me out, I picked up my AA steel GT flares today and have talked to Mark about welding them on and doing the botox on the AA wrinkles. I have a straight body with one decent dent. I want to smooth the targa top remove the sail panel vinyl, fill in the antenna and side marker holes and have the car painted outside only by season start. So we may have 3 shiny 914's debuting this year.
